I often EDC the old version of the Benchmade Stimulus, and I absolutely love the aluminum handle...it feels strong and sleek, yet still grippy. I also have a Benchmade AFO II, HK Turmoil, SOG Zoom, and recently picked up a Benchmade Presidio. All of these knives have aluminum handles and I really like the feel and how the aluminum coating weathers over time to show my love for the knife.

Anyone know of any other quality knives with aluminum or other metal handles?

Lionsteel SR2-A is one of my favorites. Along with basically all of Protech's lineup.
 
ZT0770
Kershaw Link, House of Blades has the exclusive red and blue link with S35VN steel
I believe the BenchMade 940 has aluminum handles. Don't quote me on that.
 
I'm also a big fan of aluminum handles. Here are a few more quality options:

Kershaw Launch 5 automatic, Buck 830 Marksman and the legendary Kershaw Blur.

 
Brous Bionic. Anodized ZT from USA made blade are titanium.

There are hundreds of options if all you want is aluminum handles. Quality is subjective. But with how many threads you have started asking for recommendations I think by now you can tell the difference in quality between an $8 schrade and a $285 Spartan Pallas (my recommendation). I would suggest going to bladeHQ and doing a search. At this time they list 556 aluminum handled folding(?) knives. There you can narrow the parameters you are interested in. Folding or fixed? Price, blade length, blade shape, type of opening, steel, and lock type. Also, what you plan on doing with this knife is helpful info when considering recommendations. Just asking "what are some good aluminum handled knives" doesn't give us a lot to go on. The answers will be all over the board. If that is what you are looking for, great. Go look at all 556 knives that bladeHQ lists.

Why does someone always chime in quoting how many threads I started and then tell me to just go look for it myself on a website. Perhaps maybe I already did and I want to hear the opinions of other real people who love knives? I like discussion...I would rather hear real opinions than hit a search button...

Oftentimes using the BladeForums search button you can actually see real opinions of other real people. You are not the first snowflake to ask all of these questions.

I think aluminum is fine for a handle material, especially in something like the Benchmade or Protech autos.

Because you start a thread every other day asking a different question.

A discussion on what? All "quality" aluminum handle knives? Do you know how broad that is? Narrow it down a bit. Your current question is too broad to produce any valuable discussion other than "I like X". Did you do what I suggested? Folding or fixed? Price, blade length, blade shape, type of opening, steel, and lock type. Also, what you plan on doing with this knife is helpful info for a valuable discussion.

Without some parameters this might as well be a picture thread.
